In a special quarantine edition of Though My Ears, mezzo-soprano and DMA candidate Kelly Guerra hosts an Instagram Live interview with assistant teaching professor Sarah Gibson of the composition program at UCSB. They discuss the importance of creating music during lockdown, Sarah’s use of improvisation in her compositional practice, and the creative freedom her piano duo HOCKET allows her to have: “…we could change what the repertoire would be in the modern era, and we could explore all the things we wanted to explore.”
